Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. Goods for auction (拍卖) sales
B. Definition of bidding
C. Way to sell more goods by auction
D. Auction sales in history
E. Brief introduction to auctions
F. Making a larger profit as an auctioneer
61. ______
Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.
62. ______
The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increasing”. The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.
63. ______
Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.
64. ______
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.
65. ______
The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.

WASHINGTON-According to statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 72 officers were killed by criminals in 2011, increased markedly in recently years.
The 2011 deaths were the first time that more officers were killed by suspects than car accidents.The number was the highest in nearly two decades, excluding those who died in the Sept.11 attacks in 2001 and the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.
While the F.B.I.and other law enforcement(执行)officials cannot fully explain the reasons for the rise in officer homicides, they are clear about the terrible consequences.
“In this law enforcement job, when you pin this badge on and go out on calls, when you leave home, you can't guarantee that you will come back,” said Sheriff Ray Foster of Buchanan County, Va.
After a series of killings in early 2011, Attorney General Eric H.Holder Jr.asked federal authorities to work with local police departments to try to come up with solutions to the problem.
The F.B.I., which has tracked officer deaths since 1937, paid for a study conducted by John Jay College that found that in many cases the officers were trying to arrest or stop a suspect who had previously been arrested for a violent crime.
That prompted the F.B.I.to change what information it will provide to local police departments, the officials said.Starting this year, when police officers stop a car and call its license plate into the F.B.I.'s database, they will be told whether the owner of the vehicle has a violent history.Through the first three months of this year, the number of police fatalities has dropped, though it is unclear why.
Some law enforcement officials believe that techniques pioneered by the New York Police Department over the past two decades and adopted by other departments may have put officers at greater risk by encouraging them to conduct more street stops and to seek out and confront(对抗)suspects who seem likely to be armed.In New York and elsewhere, police officials moved more officers into crime-ridden areas.
Some argue that the rise in violence is linked to the tough economy.With less money, police departments, after years of staffing increases, have been forced to make cutbacks(削减).
The police chief in Camden, N.J., J.Scott Thomson, whose force of 400 was cut by nearly half last year because of financing issues, said that having fewer officers on the street “makes it that much more difficult to create an environment in which criminals do not feel as encouraged to attack another person, let alone a law enforcement officer.”
“Every stop can be potentially fatal, so we are trying to make sure the officers are ready and prepared to face deadly force every single day they go out.” Ms.Klimt said.
1 You can find it on buildings,sidewalks,street signs and trash cans from Tokyo to Paris,from Moscow to Cape Town.Street art has become a global culture and even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists.
Street art started out very secretly because it was illegal to paint on public and private property without permission. 2 Some think it is a crime and others think it is a very beautiful new form of culture.
Art experts claim that the street art movement began in New York in the 1960s.Young adults painted words and other images on the walls and trains.This colorful style of writing became known as graffiti,whose art showed that young people wanted to rebel against society.
Street artists do their work for different reasons. 3 They choose street art because it is closer to the people.Some artists try to express their political opinions in their work.Others like to do things that are forbidden and hope they won’t be caught.Advertising companies also use street art in their ads because it gives people the impressions of youth and energy.
4 Artists can show their pictures to an audience all over the world.Many city residents,however,say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it alive.
5 There,it will continue to change and grow.
A. Street art is a very popular form of art that is spreading quickly all over the world.
B.Today,the Internet has a big influence on street art.
C.With the development of science and technology,different art styles come into the Internet.
D.The street art movement lives with the energy and life of a big cityE.People often have different opinions about street art.
